Maybe your font misses curly quotes code points.

From your screenshot the font appears to be the default (bitmap?) Xorg
font. Fontconfig usually fallbacks to such fonts as a last resort, if it
couldn't find anything better on request by emacs.

So maybe just install better fonts and then tweak fontconfig (if it
doesn't pick up them automatically).
